New reality, new business plan! 📓 The latest episode of Invested in Our New Reality is now streaming. Founder and CEO Eric McRae joins host Sam Laprade, CFRE to discuss the ups and downs of creating MBO COWORKING, a modern co-working space located in Ottawa’s Byward Market, founded in 2015. Eric shares how he used his business savvy and management skills to steer his company through the COVID-19 pandemic and leaned on his deep commitment to community building to keep the business on track through a very difficult period. “When the pandemic hit, the impact to the business was, to say the least, significant. You know, I saw almost an immediate 70% drop in revenue,” he says. “…It was just a large amount of uncertainty.” Today, the outlook is a lot brighter. People are back at work and Eric is, as they say, back in business. Better yet, he has added business consulting to his portfolio with the goal of helping local start-ups... well, get started. 🎧 All episodes of Invested in Our New Reality are available on all platforms and at https://bit.ly/3VldMQv

It's crazy how few HVAC companies properly use Meta Ads to drive sales/installation leads. A client in western Canada started with us a couple of months ago, and their Meta ads are now generating so many installs that they need an extra salesperson and install crew. That, and their cost per sale is only $344 Canadian Dollars, selling dual fuel and full heat pump installs. Another client in Southern California's getting full A/C replacement leads on systems over 15 years old for ~$45 per lead, filling their sales team's capacity. So... Are you in North America and ready to scale your HVAC company's revenue through profitable installations? Want to have a repeatable, scalable growth engine for your HVAC business? Able to spend $100 or more per day on ads? Let's hop on a call: https://lnkd.in/gJumeprC We'll take care of all your Meta Ads needs, including campaign management, asset creation, and strategy... and the best part? We have a one-month full-satisfaction guarantee. That means in the first month if you're unhappy about *anything*... You get a full refund for our services, no questions asked. That's how confident we are in our ability to help you get more installs. Let's chat and start growing your sales numbers. #hvac #marketing #leadgeneration #bluecollar #trades #business #businessgrowth #sales #hvacsales #hvacleads #metaads #paidads

📈TRREB’s October Market Watch is Live! GTA home sales surged by 44.4% year-over-year, with 6,658 sales recorded through TRREB’s MLS® System. Meanwhile, new listings grew modestly by 4.3% to 15,328. The result? Tighter market conditions across the GTA, compared to October 2023. The average selling price saw a slight annual rise to $1,135,215, driven by the Bank of Canada’s recent rate cuts, which encouraged buyers to re-enter the market. “An increasing number of buyers moved off the sidelines in October, drawn by lower borrowing costs and a more favorable affordability outlook,” said TRREB President Jennifer Pearce. With this momentum, homeownership is becoming a more achievable reality for many.

🔹 "The Safeway at 1780 E Broadway is owned by Nova Scotia-based Crombie REIT, and they are partnering with Vancouver-based developer Westbank to redevelop the site, with Perkins&Will serving as the architect." 🔹 "When the developers submitted their original rezoning application for the site to the City in June 2019, the plan was for 24-, 27-, and 30-storey towers with a total of 520 market strata units and 160 market rental units, for a total density of 5.53 FSR." 🔹 "By August 2023, the rezoning application was withdrawn altogether ahead of the developers submitting a new rezoning application in November, which was made public earlier this year. That proposal was for 35-, 36-, and 39-storey towers, with a total of 981 residential units, consisting of 882 market rental units and 99 below-market rental units, for a total density of 7.90." 🔹 "Now, the proposal for the site is 36-, 37-, and 43-storey towers, with a total of 1,044 residential units, consisting of 940 market rental units and 104 below-market rental units, for a total density of 8.27 FSR." 🔹 "This 2024 Rezoning resubmission proposes an increase in density from the previously proposed 5.7 FSR to approx. 8.3 FSR," they added. "Although this density is greater than that originally envisioned for this site within the GWCP, it is well within parameters that would be considered reasonable when compared to neighbouring sites within the Broadway Plan Corridor." It remains unclear how the City will handle the proposal. Storeys | Westbank Corp | Crombie REIT | Perkins&Will #Redevelopment #Vancouver #Vancouverrealestate

Re/Max Canada’s 2024 Commercial Real Estate Report: 🔹 An analysis of 12 of the largest Canadian commercial real estate markets shows developers have shifted their focus toward purpose-built rental construction 🔹 Multi-family and industrial real estate were the top-performing asset classes in all cities. 🔹 The federal government’s decision to cancel the GST on new residential builds has spurred the construction of purpose-built rentals followed by student housing and seniors’ residences 🔹 Hospitality industry that has roared back to life  in many regions 🔹 The office sector in downtown cores continue to struggle, with rising vacancy rates in almost all markets across the country We’ve seen a large number of clients reaching out and inquiring on shifting their current development plans towards purpose-built rental the past year.  If you have any questions about the financing process for these type of development, message me and we can go over your project and run some numbers for you. https://lnkd.in/gGmqs3Jx #vancouverrealestate #realestatemarketupdate #realestate #realestateinvesting #vancouver #canadianrealestate #Commercialmortgages #Residentialmortgages  #mortgages   #mortgagebroker  #CMHC

Ottawa Housing Market Update: August August brought a notable uptick in sales activity across some property types compared to last year. While the overall benchmark price experienced a slight dip, the apartment sector showed a more pronounced downward trend. New listings also saw a modest increase from the same period last year. Looking ahead, the Bank of Canada has reduced interest rates for the third time in a row. With two more rate announcements expected this year, further drops could attract a wave of new buyers to the market. What does this mean for you? Our team is here to help you navigate these market shifts and understand how they might affect your unique situation. #marketstats  #thinkrealtygroup #emonbehjati #saeedchezanisharai #ottawarealestate #torontorealestate
